This guide provides clear, intelligent support for teachers and administrators to explore the possibilities that the Parallel Curriculum Model brings to educators and students, and to translate those possibilities into action in the classroom. We have been using the Parallel Curriculum Model for several years and are excited to have this valuable resource for teachers and central office staff. The strategies, tools, and activities embedded throughout the guide bring the concepts and ideas to life in a way that is engaging, useful, and easy to implement. This is an excellent professional development tool for curriculum design that will lead to rich, challenging learning experiences for all students. In my experience teaching graduate students about the Parallel Curriculum Model, I am always looking for a variety of ways to expose them to the intent of each parallel. This guide is an invaluable resource in helping us talk about and practice the model. The varied examples and practical lessons will be fantastic building blocks I can use in my work with teachers!
